the quick and the right

This announcement allows us to begin the thought process that’s going to answer so many of the questions that we all care about. We can’t get this halfway right or three-quarters of the way right. We have to get this really, really right…This is a bet, to a certain degree, on where we think the Web is going. This is not going to be something that is going to change the financial dynamics overnight.

—Arthur Sulzberger Jr., on the announcement that the NYT would start charging in 2011, suggesting that they’re going to charge, but they have to think about it. Janet Robinson would seemingly suggest the solution as being somewhere between the “quick” and the “right.”
